were forced to provide them without the aid of large amounts from income taxes which jg the cities enjoy and which comes to a larse extent from persons living in the suburban areas and employed in tho urban centres illume metropolis the committee claims that it is tho metropolis itself which forces the people into a suburban area and creates a large municipality on the border of another as is the case of toronto and tho yorks small revenue practically derived only from lands and building taxa tion has made the tax burden in crease so that many persons who have been the owners of vacant pro perty have been forced to allow it to be seized- by the municipality for back taxes so many instances of this have occurred that the muni cipalities will bo forced into the real cstato business through tax sales the assuming of the properties upon which lhe owners cannot pay tho taxes is causing the municipali ties to become financially embarrass ed the report states these muni- cipalities have to assume a trcmon- idous load made up of local improve- j i menus chargeable to the properties bank loans necessitated by nonpay ment of the taxes loss of current re venue through town ownership

within a comparatively shorl time within a few hours of our landing at the great lock at ant werp we found ourselves in the palace of cardinal mercior at malines this man was known as the soul of

reading ia a good many years and it is an article in this paper some time comiug by way of the increased ago wo published an article with re price of hogs the increase came ierenco to shipping cattle to the old abouttiecausethere is a better de- country mr pritchard read the mand in the british market and article and at once determined to that is a result of an agreement try the export business for himself made at the imperial conference with the result that today he figures t ottawa we were to get a big- he is just about 250 further ahead ger share of the british business than if he marketed the cattle at and in return we were to make it homo or in toronto he found it easier for certain lines of british just as easy to ship a car load to manufactured goods to have access birkenhead england rs to toron to our markets tho manner in to ho simply loaded m asl on which britain is observing her part the car here and that wis the last of the agreement is reflected in the he knew about them until lie got his increased price of bacon hogs and cheques mr pritchard is delighted in turn that will have an effect on with the results and lb treatment better prices for beef

to a few we are certain the welfare of our farm ers is something which must receive prior consideraton when arranging tariff matters the british trade agreement will work and it xan work if we see to it that wo carry out our part of the agree ment but in plain english w- must tie prepared to see to it that the british manufacturer has as good a chance here with his goods as bri tain is giving to us in the matter ct sales of bacon that the increase in the price of hogs placed nearly 240000 extra every week in the hands of- ontario farmers would seem to be borne out by thel following figures a year ago hogs were about 3 15 per cwt or about g30 per hog lately they have been over so per cwt or 18 per hog this is a gain of nearly 12 per hog and as ontario kills abon 22000 hogs per week this means extra revenue of some 210- 000 per week to the farnirs ing 10 pound or roughly s0 mr pritchard admits that the nine were not as well finished as the elev en so is very well satified with his returns in addition to a better it comes to price for his cattle he made about g0 on the exchange imr pritchards experience seems to bear out what wo have always maintained that a relatively good price can be obtain ed on tho old country market for prime wellfinished beef cattle but they must be prime and wellfinish ed every market is oversupplied with the poor grade stuff farmers will often profit by leading their local paper carefully only last week a tribune reader sold his export cattle but did not know that there was a rebate ot 2f per cent on freight charges from farm to sea board made by the dominion dept of agriculture the buyer may have allowed for this or not but the farmer didnt know such legislation had recently been enacted although it was published in our farmers
